~Part: One~

She couldn't believe it. They had had sex all day in that open field.
Whether it was oral sex, hard and fast, or sweet and slow, they had done
it all. The sun had already set, Spike had really enjoyed watching that,
and she had lost count of how many times each of them had cum. Now here
they were, getting dressed before it got too dark and she hadn't the
slightest idea what was going to happen next. Willow was definitely
worried. <Will I ever see him again? Is he just going to leave? Does
any of what we just did mean anything to him? ..Well, so far he's not
leaving. That actually makes me happy.>

Spike turned to Willow after they were both re-dressed. A perfect
opportunity to mess with his sire had popped up and he really hoped
Willow would agree to it. He pulled her close, wrapping his arms around
her waist, and leaning his forehead against hers, Spike smiled, "Wanna
come with me to LA and torment my sire for a while?" His eyes glittered
with happiness. "I can't wait to rub this in his face."

Willow grinned, "Okay", after all, it was Friday and she didn't have
classes again til Tuesday. Plus, he was just so happy and excited. How
could she possibly deny him?

Spike almost jumped. She had actually accepted to go cause trouble for
his sire with him! Wow! He smirked and kissed her.
 

~Part: Two~

Willow grinned after leaving a note for Buffy and jumped in the car,
before it sped away. They were going to LA. She had missed Cordy and
Angel, and couldn't wait to see them again. Smiling slightly, she
thought about just how much she missed Cordelia. The brunette had become
part of the team. She was a Scooby. A friend to rely on. Cordy was there
for each apocalypse, fighting by their side. She had grown up with them.
And now that she was gone, Willow felt it. There was something missing.
Something Willow would be glad to see again.

Willow turned to Spike, her thoughts wandering. He had said that he had
a place in LA where they would be staying and that it was nice. She
couldn't wait to see that too. The man before her was quite a
contradiction. He was strong, cold, and calculated, and yet he was
sweet, soft, and undeniably the most beautiful creature she had ever
seen.

Spike sensed her eyes on him and flashed her a smile. Willow sighed
softly.
 

~Part: Three~

Willow walked in and looked around as Spike closed the door behind her. She
was against some of the more harmful pranks he had in mind, so they had
decided to scope out the place. Spike was pretty sure his sire wasn't there.

Willow turned and abruptly bumped into someone, "Umph." Both persons jumped
back in surprise. "Cordy?" "Willow?!", the brunette gasped and clutched a
hand to her chest. A shock of bleached white hair caught her attention and
Cordy looked up. Her eyes widened, but all in all, she took Spike's presence
pretty well. Cordelia glanced to Willow, "What are you doing here? And more
importantly, what's he doing here?!!" Willow smiled, "We're visiting."

Cordelia looked uncertain, but Spike stepped forward, "Cordelia. You look
smashing," and he fingered a piece of her hair, "Love the hair." Cordelia's
face lit up and Willow giggled.

Willow and Cordelia hugged briefly and chatted, catching up on things. They
told her about their plans to leave their presence unknown to Angel and play
tricks on him. She laughed and agreed to keep their secret.

"Angel's out with Doyle on a case, but they'll probably be back soon. So if
you guys really wanna keep this a secret, you should be leaving about now."

Willow nodded and asked Spike for the address and phone number to where they
were staying. He looked away from one of the knick-knacks on a nearby shelf
he had been fiddling with, "Huh?". Both girls rolled their eyes and Willow
repeated the question.

After giving Cordy the information and making plans for her to come over in
a couple of days, they left, making sure not to get caught.
 

~Part: Four~

Cordy opens the door to her apartment. The key sticks and she pulls it free
of the lock, hitting her elbow on the doorjam in the process. Pain shoots up
her arm, "Ouch! Dammit!" She turns on the light, which flickers before it
finally stays on. Cordelia moves to the sink to get a drink of water. The
water is a dingy brown and comes shooting out of the faucet, splattering all
over her white shirt. She sighs, "Yeah, well, of course."

She goes to sit down on the couch and turns on the TV. A huge cockroach
skitters on the screen. Cordy picks the phone up with a groan and dials,
"Hello? Hi, this is Cordelia Chase from apartment 4B," she glances at the TV
where there are now three cockroaches crawling over it, "I thought you were
going to have the exterminator in here today? - Well, if he had don't you
think there would be-" She puts her foot down and squashes another
cockroach. Her eyes widen and she looks down...to a floor littered with dead
bugs, "Ah, oh god! Ahh!" Cordy slams the phone down and rifles through her
purse, "Willow, Willow,.."

She found the address and set to gathering some of her more essential
belongings.

Willow jumped, "Eep!", and dove for her new white bath robe.

Spike groaned. "I'll get it." He wrapped a white towel around his waist
and tightened it, before heading towards the incessant pounding of the
door. "Now, who could that be?", he wondered aloud. At least they hadn't
interrupted much..a little earlier and they might have, Spike thought,
smirking. He opened the door, and a large suitcase was shoved into his
arms. "Umph!"

Cordelia stepped in and dropped a couple bags by the door. "Oh god,
Spike! It's so terrible! Oh, my gosh," she turns to him and holds up her
hands, "Don't even look at me. I am such a mess! I am the lowest of the
lowest," gesturing toward the open door, "and you're gonna want to get
my other suitcase on the porch."

Spike glances out at the porch and back to Cordelia, amused. "What got
your knickers in a twist?"

"My apartment. It's like the barrio - or the projects or whatever, and
I live there! I'm the girl from the projects!"

He shifts the suitcase in his arms before settling it next to him on the
ground. "Well, pet. I don't know about that-"

"So, here I am..", Cordy smiles her brightest smile, "I can stay here,
right?", looks hopeful, "It's just temporary! And when I find a new place
that's decent, you're- ..well, depending on the circumstances, I'll
invite you both over." Raising an eyebrow, Spike smirks.

Willow's head peeks out of the hallway, before she enters the room.
"Cordy?"

Cordelia grins, looking back and forth to their damp state, hair wet,
droplets of water sliding across skin. She imperceptibly licks the edge
of her bottom lip, "Um..sorry if I interrupted anything."
